My very personal post – Part 2
Why your WHY is so important for working with your customer.
Category: Introduction
Today: Rainer Grimm – Part 2
About the picture
I am currently working on a modular video series for my client Rainer Grimm. This should help to make his mentoring programs more visible as well as raise awareness for the topic of ALS. The plan is to edit and output the video series in OBS “on the fly”.
Note: Yes, I know Alexander Müller. I’m fishing in your area right now 
. But you should know that I shot my first videos back in 1989 (Sony V200). I look forward to your valued feedback as soon as we launch 
The challenge
Rainer was diagnosed with ALS just over a year ago. He is now in a wheelchair and needs a breathing mask to help him speak. And as long as we can maintain communication, we will be able to find a channel to his customers. That’s why we decided to create a video series that can convey his program and his fight for ALS audiovisually.
My WHY
A good 10 years ago there was the so-called icebucketchallenge. People almost got a kick out of tipping a bucket of ice cube water over their heads. The good thing about it. These self-staged videos drew attention to the incurable disease ALS. And exactly 10 years later, I’m working with Rainer, who was diagnosed with the disease just over a year ago. It gives my work meaning and purpose, as I can do my small part to create more visibility for this rare and incurable disease.
Call for …
Please support Rainer on his journey to continue working for and with ALS. He is currently looking for a transportation vehicle so that he can leave the house in his wheelchair. He would like to visit friends, go to the beer garden or give talks in the neighborhood. If you can offer help here, please get in touch!
My tip – Find a purpose in your existence that you pursue
It feels good and you feel valued when you have a job or activity that creates meaning. Your “why” plays a decisive role in this. Some want to apply a visible “footprint” and leave something valuable for posterity. Others volunteer to help people who need help or support. NOW is the right time. Go for it!
And last but not least …
I wish you all all the best, stay healthy, curious and enjoy life. Because you won’t get together this young again.
Best regards
Matthias Lechner
